Martin Jol was sacked today

It was amazingly inevitable and he was replaced by Rene Meulensteen. I find it strange how they have gone from a seemingly steady, stable, well organised lower-middle table side to the team that's performed this season. Some of their performances have been absolutely dire. Teams that are in bad form often put a lot of effort in, with their players closing down opponents, tracking back, putting in tackles. It's not just Berbatov; none of the Fulham players have been doing this! They just don't appear to be putting the effort in. Martin Jol has always seemed to be a good manager to me as well, so I just don't understand what's going on there. Also, apparently Fulham have a really good under 21 side. Yet none of them have been given a chance in an ageing first team that's performing very badly.
